Gumbel Slams Winter Olympics

Lisa Rogers, 02.16.2006, 09:22 AM

(EZ-Tracks) - Bryant Gumbel, who currently hosts a show on HBO called Real Sports, has concluded that the Winter Olympic events are not real sports at all. During the former Today show host's commentary on the HBO program, Gumbel remarked that he never watches them and pointed out that the ancient Greeks never heard of skating or skiing. "So try not to laugh when someone says these are the world's greatest athletes, despite a paucity of blacks that makes the Winter Games look like a GOP convention," Gumbel commented. "And try to blot out all logic when announcers and sports writers pretend to care about the luge, the skeleton, the biathlon and all those other events they don't understand and totally ignore for all but three weeks every four years. Face it, these Olympics are little more than a marketing plan to fill space and sell time during the dreary days of February."

Who peed on his frosted flakes this morning? Jeez, lighten up buddy. And as far as the discrepancy of Black People in the Olympics...coming from the whitest Uncle Tom on the planet...your gripes really don't fly past the ski lift.
